V1 is decision speed, or GO-Stop speed--the speed at which it is possible to stop the aircraft on the remaining runway. None of the POHs I have with
the aircratf I fly give the formula though. FsP requires it for the co-pilot call outs, so i figured most people here must calculate it somehow..
Thanks all.
The type of plane....weather.....runway......all of it......
If you are flying a light-medium twin,I.E. Baron 58, Seneca, Navajo......The Blue line on the airspeed indicator.....If memory serves me.....Is the
basline V1-V2.....More or less.
There really are no "Magic numbers"......
Unless like SILO said it's a heavy......
Example....The Capt Sim has basic "V" speed in the manual(pg 8,2.3), Where as the Flight1 727(pg202) goes into massive detail with complex math formulas.
Sorry....
